James Cummings saddles up the top two contenders in the betting, with dual Group 1 winner Broadsiding the first-up favourite at $3 through Ladbrokes.

Broadsiding, a Too Darn Hot colt, boasts an impressive four-win streak, including victories in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes and J.J. Atkins last season.

After two solid trials this month, he’ll return under the guidance of champion jockey James McDonald and could kick off his spring campaign in style.

His stablemate, Traffic Warden, is seen as the main danger at $4 occupying the second line of Golden Rose betting.

The Street Boss colt enjoyed a narrow victory in the Group 2 Run To The Rose earlier this month, putting him in prime form for a potential double.

Notably, Bivouac accomplished the Run To The Rose – Golden Rose double in 2019, making Traffic Warden’s chances even more intriguing.

He’ll be ridden by Ben Melham from barrier nine.

Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott‘s Storm Boy, a previous favourite, is now the third elect at Golden Rose Stakes odds of $4.50.

The Justify colt resumed with a dominant win in the San Domenico Stakes but faced an unlucky run in the Run To The Rose, finishing third.

Despite the setback, he remains a strong contender, aiming for redemption from the outside barrier 11.

Rounding out the single-figure fancies is John O’Shea‘s Linebacker at $7.

The Super Seth colt showed promise when finishing second to Broadsiding in the Champagne Stakes last year.

After a fourth-place finish in the Run To The Rose, he’s expected to improve second-up under Kerrin McEvoy on Saturday.

The 2024 Golden Rose Stakes promises to be a captivating race, with Broadsiding, Traffic Warden, and Storm Boy headlining the competition.
